New London was settled in 1646 by John Winthrop Jr. Its deep harbor made it one of New England's leading whaling ports by the mid-1800s. That same harbor later drew the U.S. Coast Guard, which built its academy here starting in 1910. New London Harbor Light, built in 1761, still marks the harbor entrance today as the oldest and tallest lighthouse in Connecticut.
New London's deep-water harbor still shapes the town. Salt air off Long Island Sound and the Thames River reaches homes well beyond the waterfront.
Downspout offers gutter cleaning, gutter repair, pressure washing, and roof cleaning throughout New London. Older homes near the historic downtown and Fort Trumbull carry gutter systems that have been through multiple repairs and renovations over the decades. Downspout cleans and repairs New London's aging gutter systems, and runs pressure washing and roof cleaning for the salt buildup that collects on homes near the harbor and Long Island Sound.
Serving New London and Its Neighborhoods
Downspout works throughout New London, from the historic homes near the harbor and Fort Trumbull to the neighborhoods further inland. Whatever a property's distance from the water, regular gutter care and pressure washing help it hold up against New London's coastal climate.
